£4.00 conc/ £6.00 full price

Many of you will know these lovely lassies already but in case you don't -

The Bailey Sisters are Alyson Rainey, Karen Dyson and Shelley Rainey. Karen and Shelley have sung throughout in various choirs, and met through their chamber choir Duodecimo, where Karen sings first soprano, and Shelley sings second alto. Although Aly’s musical background is mainly orchestral, she too has a fine singing voice, which fortunately slots neatly into the mezzo role. They decided to start singing together after attending several singing courses led by Maddy Prior, Abbie Lathe and Rose Kemp at Stones Barn in Cumbria.

With the addition of Karen’s guitar, and Aly’s fiddle, they offer a wide variety of traditional, self penned and classical material, ranging from the thirteenth century to the present day.  However, they are becoming particularly known for their a cappella performances which feature strongly on “After Silence, Music”
